The roof junction flashing, face by face
Reading the attic framing beside the chimney
If your attic is reachable, look at the framing and roof deck where the chimney passes through. Dark stains, damp wood or rusted nails beside the brick suggest water getting past the roof junction. Stains only on the chimney side may point higher up the stack.
Step only on framing, use a good light and keep away from wiring. Note which face of the chimney shows the marks and whether they were wet or dry. Tell us what you found when you book, because it helps us plan which faces to open first.
Paint over old flashing
Flashing is sometimes painted to match the roof or the chimney. Paint can hide rust, pinholes and thin spots, so a painted junction may look better than it is. Flaking paint along the laps is often the first sign that the metal underneath is going.
We check painted flashing by hand, especially at folds and along the roof line. If the metal is sound, the paint can stay as it is. If it is failing, we say whether the new metal can be left bare or should be finished, and what that finish involves.
When the roofer and the chimney company disagree
It is common for a roofer to say the chimney is leaking and for a chimney company to say the roof is. You are left in the middle with a stain that keeps growing. The way out is evidence, not opinion.
We explain what we saw at the junction, what we saw elsewhere on the roof and what we could not check. If the flashing is sound, we say so plainly. Where the evidence points at roofing away from the chimney, the findings say that too, so you can take them back to the roofer.
Booking a flashing check in Navarro Isle
To book a flashing check in Navarro Isle, call or use the form and tell us where the water appears. We ask a few questions about the roof and the chimney and then arrange the free inspection. The visit is booked around your schedule where we can.
Have someone at home who can show us the inside marks and give access to the attic, if there is one. The outside work does not need you on hand, but the conversation about findings is best in person. You receive the written estimate afterward, with time to consider it.

What people ask about chimney flashing
Will you need to go into the attic?
It helps if the attic is reachable. Stains, damp framing or wet insulation beside the chimney tell us a lot about where water gets in. Please clear a path to the hatch. If there is no access, we work from the roof and the rooms below.
How long does chimney flashing repair take in Navarro Isle?
It depends on the roof covering, the number of faces and whether a reglet has to be recut. A single face on a shingle roof is quicker than a full reflash on tile. The estimate gives the expected duration for your job.
Do you need to cut into the brick to fix the flashing?
Sometimes. Counter flashing is usually set into a mortar joint, and if the old joint is too worn to hold it, a fresh reglet is cut. The dust is controlled and cleaned up, and any repointing beyond the reglet is a separate item.
